Online advertisment for bands

Most bands now of days, have their own website to promote themselves as well as their music. For an example I’ll be using Disturbed’s official website (www.disturbed1.com). The first thing that we see when we enter this site is a quick one page ad showing a new album that they will be releasing in May of this year. They want their fans to know that they are coming out with a new album and therefore make it the first thing viewers will see on their site. Once we enter their site we are taken to the news page.

AOL Music Canada's Best. Album Covers. Ever -- NOT

I did my review over “AOL Music Canada's Best. Album Covers. Ever.”. And I have to say, I was pretty disappointed. According to the title of the article I was expecting to see some very interesting cover art. Most of the covers I saw were very boring in my opinion. Many were just in there because of the popularity of the band or the fact that the cover is well known; not because the album cover was the “best”. In my opinion as a Computer Graphics major, to be considered as one of the best album covers, the album cover has to look interesting and be something that sticks out to you.
